After having released at the end of 2018 our top 5 vinyl turntables for less than 1000€ and our top 10 cleaning accessories, we continue our series by telling you now about our flagship phono stages! To help you to make a choice among our large selection, we now share with you our top 5 phono preamplifiers for less than 1000€, following different budgets.
The Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 phono preamplifier – 149€
If you are looking for a quality product but with a limited budget, this Phono Box S2 phono preamp is made for you. In this price range, it is hard to find better!
Very well designed, it is compatible with MM cartridges as well as MC (within reason) and is completely configurable. This gives you many possibilities in terms of associations! One of our flagship products for anyone who wants to get started with vinyl records!
And if you are on a budget and you like the warmth of audio tubes, Pro-Ject also offers the Tube Box DS2 phono preamplifier. Also a reference in its field and in this price range!
The MoFi StudioPhono phono preamplifier – 249€
We already know all the qualities of the American brand MoFi, and so its phono preamplifier StudioPhono does not make exception to the rule!
These one offers very good performances and parameters that we do not find in every phono stage of this range. We think in particular of its several settings and its “true” Mono mode, which allows you to play monographic records. Totally seduced by this MoFi StudioPhono!
The Moon 110 LP V2 phono preamplifier – 449€
The Moon 110 LP V2 phono preamp is arrived on the analogue market just few weeks ago. It comes to replace the famous Moon 110 LP, which had already conquered a lot of music lovers! And there is a good chance that this new version will be as successful…
Its more modern look, its many settings accessible under the device and its musicality, make this Moon LP 110 V2 one of the new flagship products in terms of phono preamplification! A top pick product at maPlatine.com!
The Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE phono preamplifier – 799€
We cannot present you our top 5 phono preamps at less than 1000€ without talk about at least one phono stage from Lehmann Audio! Since the 90’s, the Black Cube is part of the references (or legend!) on the market.
With its Black Cube SE, Lehmann Audio offers an even more performing version of its best-buy, mainly thanks to its separated power supply designed with high-quality components. This allows it to be associated with high-range phono cartridge and then offer an excellent musicality. Obviousness in this top 5!
The Jolida JD9 SE1 phono preamplifier – 959€
The Jolida JD9 phono preamp is also a reference for several years. For a budget less than 1 000€, this JD9 SE1 is probably unrivalled… To our knowledge!
We find all the know-how of Jolida brand in this phono preamp. The restitution is quite bluffing for a product of this range: dynamic, timbre, nuance, etc. There are high-range performances at a relatively affordable price, so why deprive ourselves?
Now you know our top 5 phono preamplifiers for less than 1000€, which corresponds to various budgets. Even if other phono preamp models could be present in this list, because the manufacturers now offer quality products! So do not hesitate to consult our selection of phono preamplifiers 😉
